The Second Year of the Upstream Music Festival Looks Amazing!

Last year Seattle saw the birth of a new music festival and summit. The Upstream Music Festival and Summit was designed to showcase local Northwest artists and to give aspiring artists and music industry professionals keys to finding success in the business. The summit will feature "a committee of artists, music industry professionals, event producers and creative directors who all have significant experience navigating the music industry."

The Summit will take place on Friday, June 1st in venues across Pioneer Square, prior to the start of the fest. Programming will include 12+ sessions focusing on the most pressing opportunities and challenges facing artist and music industry professionals today; including utilizing data to make marketing and touring decisions, how to hone and share your brand, demystifying contracts, artist well-being, and how to use tools like aggregators and metadata to make sound business decisions. -Upstream
